After a standoff, a flurry of blog postings and a last-minute renegotiation, Eamonn Forde and Stuart Dredge are back to present this week’s podcast. Among the topics under consideration are: Apple, Taylor Swift and how mainstream media reduces a rich tapestry to crude primary colours; breaking news as the head of Tidal resigns; why Anthony Bay from Rdio gives good interview and how the company has played a deft game of late; why SoundCloud is reducing playback on third-party apps and if it’s really getting sued. Bonus content: we try and work out the Norwegian for “onion” and accidentally offend the entire nation; an attempt to build a ladder out of snakes; and Stu’s survival plans for Glastonbury.
